The Jack Tales

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Owen Smith. Three Jack tales ("Jack and the Northwest Wind," "Jack and the Bean Tree," "Jack and the Robbers") are here retold by a popular storyteller. The stories are flavorfully told and amusingly illustrated in a mock Thomas Hart Benton style, but the book design is too grandiose for the homespun fun it purports to contain. A CD of Hicks telling the stories is included.
